Huang Zhong led 15,000 elite troops to the west into a forest, while Liu Bei led the rest of his troops to continue to retreat to Zhengyang Pass.

In the evening, Liu Bei led more than 30,000 soldiers to the Anfengjin Ferry, and they had already arrived at the Huai River. Liu Bei immediately ordered people to find the ferry. Not long after, his subordinates came back to report that they had found more than a dozen ferries and fishing boats. Liu Bei ordered all the soldiers of the army to cross the river immediately.

Half an hour later, less than 10,000 soldiers of Liu Bei's army crossed the Huai River, and Liu Bei couldn't help but feel very anxious.

"Lord, please get on the boat!" Liu Yan, the general, held his fists and invited him. Liu Bei nodded and boarded a ferry with Liu Yan. On the boat were several of Liu Bei's personal soldiers.

The ferry sailed away from the port. As the ferry went further and further, the scene in Liu Bei's eyes became blurry, and Liu Bei couldn't help but feel indescribable.

Suddenly, Liu Bei saw countless torches gushing out not far away, accompanied by earth-shaking killing sounds and thunderous sounds. Liu Bei was shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, looking at the shore with a pale face and said in a panic: "No! It's the pursuit of the Northern Army!"

Lu Bu led 30,000 Canglang Camp iron cavalry to suddenly enter the Anfengjin Ferry. The iron hooves passed by corpses were everywhere, and the blades passed by were all dead. Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painting halberd, with a bloodthirsty grin on his face. Every time Fang Tian's painting halberd danced, Liu Bei's soldiers were always dismembered on the spot!

However, Liu Bei's army was not unprepared. A 5,000 infantry lined up on a hill west of Anfengjin Ferry. However, this army was completely torn to pieces by the torrent of the Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp without resisting. When Canglang Camp entered Anfengjin Ferry, the defeated troops of these Liu Bei's army were completely in chaos.

Lu Bu killed the crowd and went straight to a man wearing heavy armored general. This person was nothing but a general under Liu Bei's command, Guan Hai.

Guan Hai saw that Lu Bu, who was like a god of killing, actually rushed towards him. He was shocked and wanted to escape, but he had no way to escape, so he had to bite the bullet and meet Lu Bu.

Guan Hai held up the sword with a big sword, looking very crazy, and rushed towards Lu Bu. Lu Bu stopped his war horse and stared at Guan Hai who was approaching quickly, sneering with disdain and relaxed expression.

The war horse ran to Lu Bu, and Guan Hai roared excitedly, and the big knife in his hand slashed towards Lu Bu on his head. Seeing that the big knife was about to hit Lu Bu, Guan Hai suddenly felt a swaying in front of him, and then he was frightened to find that he had been locked by the other party and his neck was raised high. Guan Hai subconsciously wanted to struggle, but suddenly felt that the palm on his neck tightened suddenly. Guan Hai immediately felt that the air in his lungs was instantly drained! He couldn't help but look frightened on the ground.

Lu Bu raised the corner of his mouth, threw Guan Hai onto the ground, and shouted: "Tie it!"

Several Canglang Guards rushed forward and unceremoniously tied the general Guan Hai into Zongzi.

The ferry carrying Liu Bei had already stopped in the middle of the river. Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who were running on the river bank, and his heart was like a knife and tear like rain. Suddenly, Liu Bei rushed out of the boat. Liu Yan was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly pulled Liu Bei and shouted: "Lord, victory and defeat are common in military affairs, you can't be too lazy to think about it!"

Liu Bei said sadly: "It's all because of my incompetence that I have killed all the soldiers!"

Liu Yan knelt down and said anxiously: "The soldiers can fight for the lord on the battlefield, so they can die! Today's defeat is not the lord's fault, but it is not the lord's time!"

Several other personal soldiers also knelt down, "Lord!" with a worried look on their faces.

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

In less than half an hour, Lu Bu wiped out more than 20,000 Liu Bei's army who had not had time to cross the river, killing 5,000 and capturing 18,000.

Afterwards, Lu Bu also tried to cross the river to pursue, but was dissuaded by the deputy general with Chen Chu's order.

Lu Bu led the Canglang Guard army to pause on the Huai River for a moment and cleaned up the scene. Then the army rushed the prisoners back.

At the same time, Liu Bei had entered Zhengyang Pass on the east bank of the Huai River, standing on the wall and looking at the west side of the Huai River.

Lu Bu returned to Yingshang at midnight.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yingshang City after midnight seemed very quiet. A bright moon hung high in the air, and the quiet moonlight shone on the city walls, like a hazy gauze. The night here is beautiful, and it is hard to imagine that this place was a battlefield like a life-and-death Shura not long ago.

In the mountains and forests west of Yingshang, a team was advancing towards Ruyin County at a rapid march. Leading the lead was a gray-haired veteran, Huang Zhong, who had separated from Liu Bei not long ago.

Before dawn, the team led by Huang Zhong came outside the south gate of Ruyin County. At this moment, the team was panting and exhausted. Since Ruyin County was just a county town, there was no moat, and the city wall was made of mud embryos, and the height was only a little over one meter.

"General, this is Ruyin County!" A lieutenant reported to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong asked: "Do you know the deployment of troops in the city?"

The captain shook his head in frustration and said, "I don't know! The Northern Army of the Conquest Army does not allow anyone to enter the county town at all!" Then he asked for instructions: "General, should I let the last general lead the people to climb over the wall and reconnaissance?"

Huang Zhong frowned, "No! There is no time left! You immediately lead a personal soldier to touch the city wall with a rope, and then open the city gate!"

"Yes!" The captain agreed with his fists.

A moment later, a group of about 300 soldiers without armor and only single clothes quietly came to the city wall beside the south city gate with ropes and long swords on their backs. After a team of patrol soldiers on the city wall passed, several particularly strong soldiers threw lock hooks to the city wall, and then the soldiers quickly climbed up along the ropes with long swords on their backs. Perhaps due to the long journey, these elite Liu Bei's army seemed a little troublesome when climbing.

Liu Bei's army successively climbed the city wall. A sentry from the Northern Expedition Army not far away found something strange here and pushed his companion beside him, "It seems that there is movement over there, let's go over and take a look!"

Two sentries from the North Envoy Army walked up a few steps, and their faces changed suddenly. One sentry said anxiously: "Go and ring the alarm bell!" Another sentry ran down immediately.

At this moment, Liu Bei's army, who had climbed to the city, discovered the two sentries, and more than a dozen Liu Bei's soldiers rushed over. After a short battle, the remaining sentry was killed, but before that, he also pulled a mat.

When Liu Bei's army saw another sentry running towards the alarm bell, they couldn't help but feel anxious. A Liu Bei's soldier immediately pulled down the bow and arrow on his back and shot an arrow at the sentry. The arrow whizzed through the air, and then the sentry fell to the ground.

At this time, the patrol team on the city wall had noticed the movement here and was rushing towards this side. Suddenly, they saw a large group of uninvited guests gathered on the top of the city. Dozens of patrol soldiers were shocked and rushed forward without thinking.

The soldiers on both sides immediately fought. Although the number of patrol soldiers was far inferior to each other, they were able to compete with each other.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei's military captain couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly ordered some soldiers to go down the city wall to open the city gate.

More than a hundred Liu Bei soldiers rushed down the city wall and started a melee with more than a dozen soldiers of the Zhengbei soldiers at the city gate. After paying the price of nearly forty deaths, they wiped out the dozen soldiers of the Zhengbei soldiers at the city gate. Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei soldiers hurriedly opened the city gate. At this moment, a red signal rocket rose from the city wall, which was the signal sent by the Zhengbei soldiers when they encountered an emergency.

Tens of thousands of Liu Bei's army rushed in from the South Gate under the leadership of Huang Zhong. At the same time, thousands of soldiers who fought against the North had left the barracks and were rushing towards the South Gate.

The two sides encountered unexpectedly on the street near the South Gate, and the war began immediately. Although the Zhengbei Army suffered a sudden change, they were still elite soldiers who had been through many battles and still seemed very calm; Liu Bei's army held their breath and wanted to vent their vent.
